Dr.Chettiar's Correspondence

letter to V.T. Krishnamachariar

Dr.RM.Alagappa Chettiar,

"Krishna Vilas"
Vepery, Madras 7.

       12th March, 57.

Dear Sir,

You must have received the invitation for the Foundation tablet laying function of the Alagappanagar Polytechnic by the Governor of Kerala Dr. B. Ramakrishna Rao. I was looking forward, .and I had actually programmed as you would have found from the invitation yourself, to be present at the function and make a welcome speech, but God has willed otherwise. After my return from Karaikudi a new development was noticed by the doctors, i.e., there was another fresh deposit of cancer in the right pelvis and that has made me very weak, apart from anguish- ing pain. They have embarked on another course of Deep X ray therapy and I have already had nearly 7 exposures.- They propose to give 3 more and there- after they are thinking of administering what is called Nitrogen Mustard which I understand is, though not a cure, at least some kind of preventive remedy for multiple cancer. God is great and His will must be obeyed.

I shall be grateful if you, with your love and affection for me and the institutions, send me a message which can be read on the occasion. I have received messages from many distinguished personalities. I value a message from you, Sir, most because it is from a genuine friend apart from a distinguished personality.

I have arranged my daughter to go to the function and make the welcome speech on my behalf. The work is going on in Civil, and Government of India have sanctioned Mechanical and Electrical for the Alagappanagar Polytechnic from 57 June. They will also be giving fresh grants towards that purpose. This is just for your information.

I trust your health is now considerably improved with the new tablet I had given you last when you were kind enough to see me.

With Kind regards Yours sincerely,

Sd...RM.Alagappa Chettiar

Sri P.S. Kumaraswaml Raja,
Rajapalayam.
